How to organize photo cards

Michelle has solved a problem we all have: guilt about throwing away photo cards!

Every year we get photo cards of our friends and their children. I have never wanted to throw them away but didn't really have a place for them either.We had about 4 years' worth stacked up. I found a kid-friendly photo album and gave every family its own page. I had to cut most to size and I made sure to put the year on the back. Then I put them in order with the current year on top. Slid into the page and there you have it! The kids love looking at the album with all their friends and I like reflecting on how everyone has grown!

Another option if you don’t want to cut them (or if the photos are attached to the front of greeting cards) is to glue them onto paper, and slide the sheet into transparent pocket pages in a 3-ring binder. Some binders come with a clear cover that you can customize by sliding your artwork underneath.

I’ve been putting holiday photos in an album for about three years. I put the photos on those sticky “magnetic” pages, and I slip the letters into page protectors. It only takes about an hour to get them all in the album.
We have a lot of out-of-town friends that we only see once a year or less. It’s great to show our kids these photos before we go on a trip to see our friends.
Sadly, my photos of my friends’ kids are much better organized than my photos of my own kids!
